This study describes the political-economic dimension of corporate governance reform in South Africa. It then investigates the relationship between corporate governance institutions and systems on the one hand and the political, economic and historical context of South African society on the other. The study establishes the political, economic and historical determinants of corporate governance reform as they evolved in the course of South African corporate history. The study concludes that South African corporate governance reform and such reform in the Commonwealth economic systems have a lot in common in terms of their historical evolution. This is despite the reasons for such reform being vastly different. The outcome of the political process in South Africa, for very specific reasons, is that a specific shareholder model of corporate governance became the corporate governance system in South Africa.

Do the distinctive promilitary values of military personnel arise out of socialization during military training & service, or from prior differences in values & beliefs among those who enter military service? Questionnaire data from high school seniors in 10 classes, 1976-1985, collected during large-scale surveys (N not given), clearly support the self-selection interpretation; those expecting to serve, especially those expecting to lead military careers, were consistently more promilitary than their classmates. The largest differences involved perceptions of military job opportunities; views on military supremacy, intervention, & obedience also differed, but less sharply. These findings replicate earlier research, suggesting that self-selection is dominant & that actual service may not substantially alter prior attitude differences. An all-volunteer force containing numerous careerists raises the question of a separate military ethos. 2 Tables, 1 Figure. Modified HA
